Rapid.Tech + FabCon 3.D

3D Printing Pioneers

For the 15th anniversary of the trade fair Rapid.Tech + FabCon 3.D, the idea was born within our international advisory board to honor the people who made their mark on our 3D printing market with heart and soul and brought the industry to where it stands today.

Michael Eichmann studied computer science at the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund and quickly focused on CAD / CAM and rapid prototyping technologies. Management positions in sales and marketing, etc. at Wiechers & Partner, ProSTEP and the Bremen Startup Workcenter led him to RTC Rapid Technologies in 2003.

With foresight and consistency, he has led the company as a managing partner in a market-leading position for 3D printing technologies. The company serves well-known customers from the automotive industry, industrial design, medical technology, electrical engineering, the consumer goods sector as well as teaching and research.

After the sale of RTC to Stratasys GmbH, Michael Eichmann is responsible for business development in Europe as Director Business Development at Stratasys.
